Generally, self-reported preferences for music genres reflect, at least partially, preferences for external properties of music. We aim to further investigate the association between music listening preferences and moral traits and the link of music with other psychological aspects such as human values and emotions.
In future work we aim to delve deeper into the relation between music and morality, and between music and other universal human values, by using passively collected digital traits of music listening behaviours outside a laboratory setting and over a period of time [1]}.
Developing data-informed models will help unlock the potential of personalised, uniquely tailored digital music experiences and communication strategies [2]}, [3]}. Predicting the moral values from listening behaviours can provide noninvasive insights on the values or other psychological aspects of populations at a large scale.
